For those whose interests skew more to fashion than football, Madonna’s halftime performance was plenty reason for non-sports fans to tune into last night’s showdown between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Moments after the second quarter of the game ended, the Material Girl made an entrance worthy of an empress, clad in Givenchy Haute Couture and Bulgari jewels, as muscle-bound men dressed as gladiators carried her upon a throne into the arena. She then proceeded to strike a pose, launching into her famous dance hit and vogue-ing, appropriately, atop a lit-up stage of the Vogue logo and Vogue covers; her showstopping concert was viewed by an audience of more than 110 million. Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and dance rockers from LMFAO in cheerleader costume teamed up with the singer for songs like “Music” and “Give Me All of Your Luvin’,” and finally Cee Lo Green, backed by a full choir, joined her onstage for a rendition of “Like a Prayer” that brought down the house. In honor of Madonna’s Vogue shout-out, we look back through our archives to bring you her various covers and appearances throughout the years in Vogue.See the slideshow above.
